This page is for all the members of G.A.B.'s Ebony Team. You can check here for official reference lists for all the
team members. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to
send me mail. In the table below,
the Team Member link will take you to the team member's reference list and information page, and
Real Name link will allow you to send mail to the team member.

For those of you in G.A.B., or comtemplating a trade with a G.A.B. member, you may view G.A.B.'s
Oath and Code of Conduct. If you feel a member has not dealt fairly with you please
let me know.

This list and all references are current as of 07 October, 2014.
For more information on G.A.B., please visit the
official web site.

Note on bad addresses: Many AOL users set up their mailboxes to disable mail from outside AOL.
These users are marked as bad addresses because I have no way of sending them mail to verify references, and non-AOL
users have no way of using them as references. Also, just because a reference is valid when checked doesn't mean it's
still valid. People change e-mail addresses, so you may not be able to reach a listed reference.

When a member achieves the rank of Vice Admiral, they are sometimes given the
option of running their own team. The following list contains a list of the
Admirals who were once members of the Ebony Team.

Sometimes, a member gets tired of trading, or decides to leave G.A.B. for personal reasons. We're always sorry to see
them go, but they're welcome back any time they wish to return. Because they have left the trading biz, their profiles
are no longer available here.

The following members have either been discharged or are currently pending discharge for one of three reasons.

I've lost contact with them. Their status will be "pending discharge" (AWOL) for 90 days from the first
invalid contact, at which point they will be discharged (MIA). If you have any information on any of these people,
please let me know.
These members are free to rejoin when they make contact.

The member has no confirmed references. If a member joins and no references confirm within the first two
months, that member is discharged. These members are free to rejoin when they can provide more references.

The member commits a G.A.B. rules violation. If a member violates any part of the
G.A.B. Oath, or otherwise exhibits poor trading practices, that member
receives a dishonorable discharge. These members may or may not be permitted to rejoin, depending on the severity
of their violation. Luckily, these are fairly rare.

The member's rank indicated the number of confirmed good trading references he or she has attained. Upon reaching the
rank of Vice Admiral, the member may be assigned command of a G.A.B. team or special duty (at the discretion of the
Grand Admiral). The rankings are as follows:

Rank

# of confirmed references

Ensign

none

Lieutenant (Junior Grade)*

1

Lieutenant

2-5

Lieutenant Commander

6-15

Commander

16-30

Captain

31-50

Vice Admiral

51+

Admiral

51+ (and a Team Leader or on special assignment)

Grand Admiral

there's only one

* Note that Lieutenant (Junior Grade) is not an official G.A.B. rank, but I use it here to indicate
that a member has exactly 1 good trading reference. Any member with this rank has an actual G.A.B. rank of Lieutenant.
